JibJab Releases STARRING YOU® Video to Promote the Upcoming "HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR"
Venice, CA (PRWEB) September 18, 2008 -- JibJab (http://sendables.jibjab.com/), a leading pioneer in online entertainment, will be showcasing the movie "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" by allowing fans to put themselves and their friends in the "Now Or Never" musical production number from the soon-to-be-released feature film hitting theaters on Oct. 24, 2008. Beginning Sept. 16, 2008, fans can log onto JibJab.com and be the star of the video using JibJab's Starring You!® technology.
To create a personalized video, users simply upload photos of themselves and friends, cut and paste their heads in place of featured characters Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens), and watch as they're instantly transformed into the stars of the video. Users can choose to replace just one of the characters' faces--allowing fans to appear alongside Troy or Gabriella--or both. In each case, the user appears performing alongside Chad (Corbin Bleu), Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale), Ryan (Lucas Grabeel) and others.
Using JibJab's simple publishing tools, users can also share the "Now Or Never" Starring You videos they create with friends via email, social networks, such as MySpace and Facebook, and blogs.
"High School Musical videos account for six of the top 100 videos of all time on YouTube and have been seen almost 200 million times," said Gregg Spiridellis, who co-founded JibJab with his brother Evan in 1999. "There is a rabid HSM fan base on the web and we're thrilled to let them instantly become a part of the 'High School Musical 3' movie before it even hits theaters using our Starring You technology."
JibJab launched Starring You in 2007 and will share the HSM3 video with its 2+ million registered members. Since its launch, users have uploaded more than 13 million heads and created over 15 million movies that have been seen over 60 million times. CNET dubbed Starring You "The Greatest Office Time Waster of All Time."
